* ssp47's Corner * Thank you, Alex "Wa", Striker, Aerena and Lady Wolf Moon
for the reviews! Yes Zeig was late and didn't save Rose. Kind of stupid but
it was for a reason.
And Lady Wolf Moon, I don't always have the time for nice long chapters,
unfortunately, but I do try to make them cool. Well Christmas Eve if here.
I wish ya'll a Merry Christmas. ^_^
CHAPTER 6: "Kanzas"
"Why? Why didn't you tell me about them? About what went on in the town?" Rose demanded with a clenched fist. "I was humiliated by those humans with magical power and then I was placed in prison. Tell me why!"
Sari folded her arms and frowned.
"First of all they're not human. They are what control humans, the Winglies. And I didn't tell you because I was waiting for the right time."
"So I'm going to wait another ten years until you explain it all to me?"
"No, by then it would be too late."
"Too late?"
Sari entered her cave and remained silent as she started a fire with a wave of her hand. Flames burned the wood in the round rock encircled area. Rose's eyes widened in surprise.
"You're one of them too? A Wingly?"
"Yes, I am and that tells you something else."
Rose stared at the old Wingly as she had just noticed for the first time the common silver hair and deep crimson eyes.
"I am not your birth mother, Rose. You're real mother was a slave from that town who came to me the night you were born, because her husband had threatened the life of her baby."
Rose remained mute and carefully knelt beside the wise Wingly. Sari sighed.
"It is now that I should tell you. You will need this knowledge in the future. In the beginning there was no life on this planet except a vase desert. Then the divine creator Soa, one of the almighty gods, descended from heaven and planted a seed that grew into the Divine Tree. Like most trees, the Divine Tree bore one hundred and eight fruits that were given life and descended to the planet we know as the Endiness. The one hundred and fifth fruit were the dragons and the sixth humans and then the seventh the Winglies. (If I'm getting this all wrong, please tell me.) The ruler over the Winglies was Melbu Frama. He desired power from the gods and was granted ultimate power. With that power the Winglies made floating cities and the main were the Magical city Aglis, the capital city Kadessa, the Death city Mayfil, and the Law city Zenebatos. But that power was abused as he imprisoned humans. The humans worked as slaves under the Winglies and were put under much suffering as they are now."
"But why?"
"Rose, you have a divine destiny ahead of you. And that destiny will reveal itself in its own due time. I have given you the knowledge of what you need to know. Now you must decide where to go."

Zeig crouched outside of the prison and allowed the guards to pass him without noticing his shadow. Those idiots left the doors open. The blonde carefully snuck inside and went for the first staircase he saw that was above the guards below.
"Easy enough." Zeig whispered to himself. By a discarded stack of barrels he saw a neglected old Broad sword. Zeig picked it up and wiped the dirt from it. It was an unusual weapon; the blade was crooked and spiked. But it was deadly no less. Zeig tied the weapon to his belt.
From his sharp ears he heard the faint steps of a guard coming around the corner. Crap! He quickly hid behind the barrels and avoided and trouble from the guard. Taking no notice of Zeig the guard continued on his way, patrolling the cells or prisoners.
One man trapped in his cell cursed under his breath and threw a slab of stone into the iron bars.
"Cursed me." He grumbled.
"I wouldn't be making noises like if I were you. The guard will be coming back." Zeig said walking in front of his cell. The voice was obviously male.
"I really don't care about him. What I should be worried about is what'll happen after I'm transferred." The man was crouched by the left wall. Zeig couldn't make out his facial details but his hair was very spiked. The man suddenly looked up and was shocked to see the young man standing in front of him. "My gosh, did you escape?"
"N-no. I came here to rescue a young girl that was falsely accused of a crime."
"Aren't we all?" The man muttered. "Well if you're going to ask me if I've seen her, I haven't seen anyone but that annoying clad of walking armor!" Another rock flew into the bars, making Zeig step back.
"I'll look elsewhere then."
"Why? They've probably taken the girl to court. They move women around faster than men." He stood up and went to the bars. "You seem to be a good man. Why don't you let me out of here and we could look around for that girl."
"You don't seem that type." Zeig replied with a lot of doubt.
"But we're both human and we can trust each other. I'll tell you another reason to let me out. There's a rumor going around that there is a band of warriors opposing the Winglies under direction of Emperor Diaz."
"What does that have to do with you?"
"Don't you get it? The liberation of humans is beginning and I plan to fight with my fists if I have too." Zeig looked questioningly at the spiked haired man.
"Where would I find this Emperor Diaz?"
"Daring, eh? I can see that you're under the services of a Wingly. No a very important Wingly like Lord Razor. You must be his servant Zeig?"
"Yeah." Zeig said not caring if everyone on the planet knew.
"Won't he be looking for you?"
"He gave me time off for a while. He had something important to do."
"I bet. He's probably off to chop someone's head off for not sleeping at eight A.M." Zeig bowed his head.
"I don't know what he does."
"Then that's why you have to get me out of here. We'll get each other out of this place and you can go find that Emperor Diaz."
"Alright." Zeig pulled out his sword and started banging at the lock. "Wait isn't this a magical lock?"
"No, it's metal. This is a very old prison." The man urged. "Work quicker! I hear the guard coming!"
"I thought you didn't care." Zeig said with a slight smile. The lock gave way with a final blow of the sword. The cell opened and the man escaped from his prison. Zeig snarled to himself and followed fully aware that there were guards running behind him.
* ssp47's Corner * I'm sorry if I didn't Kanzas's character right. We've only seen a tad bit of him so I tried my best to keep the characters intone with the game.
